Brief narrative summary of the content of the resource(s)

The physical component of the Mediterranean Forecasting System (Med-Currents) is a coupled hydrodynamic-wave model implemented over the whole Mediterranean Basin including tides. The model horizontal grid resolution is 1/24˚ (ca. 4 km) and has 141 unevenly spaced vertical levels.The hydrodynamics are supplied by the Nucleous for European Modelling of the Ocean (NEMO v3.6) while the wave component is provided by Wave Watch-III; the model solutions are corrected by a variational data assimilation scheme (3DVAR) of temperature and salinity vertical profiles and along track satellite Sea Level Anomaly observations.

The superficial sea temperature (SST) map package was built with daily-mean data at high spatial resolution (0.01 degree) remotely collected between 2008 and 2020. The maps were also built over the four quarters of the time period. These layers are provided with the suffixes Q1 to Q4. The SST trend maps show the increasing or decreasing trend of SST over the selected time period.
